On a cool and slightly humid evening at Dallas’ historic Kessler Theatre in North Oak Cliff, music fans of all types crammed into the intimate venue like sardines to see Wanda Jackson, the proclaimed ‘Queen of Rockabilly’ give it all she literally had.

The show, which was expected to begin with her set around 9:00pm, didn’t start until well after 10:30pm, due to a recent case of mild laryngitis the legendary singer had been battling. Most fans were certainly eager for the show to begin, however the crowd appeared to be quite patient and understanding with Jackson as she made her way through her setlist, something I haven’t seen much in Dallas concert-going crowds these last few years.

The hit comedy The Hangover has a sequel now and that sequel now has an official teaser trailer. It is of course a tease. Not much to see really. It promotes the first film quite a bit, but none the less it got me excited to see the next film.

Terrence Malick is one heel of a filmmaker and I am so happy he is busy making films currently. His next film which is called “Tree of Life” comes out May 27th. I have been looking forward to that film for quite sometime. It seems that he has already finished his next film as well which is still untitled at the moment.

Here is the “R” rated red band trailer for the upcoming comedy, “Bad Teacher”. It stars Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Jason Segel, and Phyllis Smith (Phyllis from The Office). I also think I saw John Malkovich in the trailer. This film looks funny from the trailer, but I am not so sure if it will be good as a feature length film, even with the great cast minus Cameron Diaz.

This is a couple of days old, but if you do not listen to Howard then this will be freshly new to you. I highly recommend you subscribe to Sirius XM and listen to Howard. He is the world’s greatest interviewer and one hell of a host. Click Here to Subscribe and find out more. So, actor Bill Murray was on the show and talked about his party life, films, people he has worked with, and all sorts of other topics. What peaked my interest the most, was his upcoming films.

At least Bay won’t be directing the film. But this is as cool of news as you will ever get. The comic book, “Zombies VS Robots” has been picked up by Michael Bay’s company, Platinum Dines and Sony Pictures to adapt into a feature film according to Deadline. Buy the comics HERE.

Some great releases this week for the last week of February. Both new and classic titles. It is always so great watching the classic titles in hi-def. It’s like watching it for the first time again. As usual, you will get some info about the disc and the extras that come with the movie as well as a personal opinion about the movie and a link to purchase the film over at AMAZON where you can save quite a bit of money, and it will give a small percentage kick back to this site so we can continue bringing you excellent stories and sales.

Straight from Miramar, NZ, we have some set pics from the upcoming epic Hobbit film. Seeing these, brings back memories from the Lord of the Rings films all those years ago. I am so looking forward to this.

Tonight marks the official opening of The Cameron Gallery’s annual “Made For Love” exhibit, featuring a wealth of talented and renowned Dallas-based artists.

As February is typically the month of love and romance the work included in “Made For Love” takes its cue from Cupid’s arrow and showers the walls with objects of obsession and want. Artists Jonathon Kimbrell, Gina Dunn, Nic Noblique, Tanner Lawley and others interpret their views of love to create the amorous spectacle that “Made For Love” has become to be known.

As I continue to work on paintings for my upcoming exhibition, “We Are Modern”, opening at The Cameron Gallery April 2, 2011, you can catch sneak previews of some of the work here on the good ‘ol Boomstick site, as well as my own studio blog.

I won’t give away all my goodies, but will do my best to keep everyone returning for more. More importantly, hopefully it’ll get people into the door at the gallery for the opening.

Ok, now back to flipping through vintage issues of “Popular Mechanics” and re-watching all of my available episodes of “Mad Men” for additional inspiration. In case you were wondering, this show is heavily influenced by 1950s and 60s consumer culture.

Stay tuned for further updates.

I want you all to give a warm welcome to Boomstick’s new contributing writer, Dr. Joel Hawkins. He hails from the underground sewers of North Texas and is at least two of the following: gay robot, french polynesian eskimo, slovakian zombie, green blooded canadian, and avatar. His favorite color is rainbow and when he is not eating cake covered in lucky charms, he is a master at slaying dragons and writing articles about films, television, and music. Welcome Dr. Joel Hawkins.

Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass, X-Men: First Class) has a new adventure he’d like to take now that he’s left the School of the Gifted. Unaware as to whether he’ll direct or produce, Vaughn shared a dream of his with Deadline of hoping to invite Clint Eastwood, Warren Beaty, and Jack Nicholson back to “the lead again” instead of the supporting roles they’ve played so much lately.

I just love when Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up and make movies. They have done so many good films together that have been both critically successful and box office successful. So why would they stop that? Well they have no plans to stop. They are teaming up again to make “The Wolf Of Wall Street”.

Back in October 2010, Buffalo Springfield bandmates Neil Young, Stephen Stills (The Talent) and Richie Furay got together onstage for the first time in over 40 years during Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit concert. As most folks probably figured this was a one trick pony, the rumor mills have been running overtime the last couple of months whether or not the influential 1960s rock band would reunite for future gigs.

In November, Furay’s manager, David Spero, confirmed with Rolling Stone that the remaining members have been talking about the possibility of doing some tour dates. Days after the Bridge School gig, Furay said “We just picked up where we left off many, many years ago. It almost felt like going back in time.” Read the rest of this entry »

In support of their fourth record release, “Blood Pressures”, The Kills will return to the Dallas live music scene playing the historic Granada Theatre on April 19th. The Kills had been on a bit of a hiatus as Alison Mosshart had been recording and touring with one of Jack White III’s many bands, The Dead Weather.

The new record drops April 5th and is already gaining some high intensity buzz with the release of their first single, “Satellite.” Check out their site for the short form film of “Satellite” and be prepared to drool all over yourself. Both Mosshart and Jamie Hince are pretty sexy in it, not to mention the quality of the film itself.

“Blood Pressures” is available for pre-order through Domino Records, or ultimately, pick up a copy at your local record store.

I think it is safe to say we can all collectively breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears have a new record releasing in March.

The much anticipated follow-up to their breakout hit record, 2009’s “Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is!”, “Scandalous” is already proving to be another ace up their sleeves. Their funky, raw and youthful vibe to American funk and soul music makes this Austin, TX band a sheer class act, one certainly not to be missed..

If you have not heard about tthe upcoming KICKASS film called “I Saw The Devil“, well you are about to get your jollies off. This is the latest and greatest work from Korea by master filmmaker Kim Jii-woon. He did A Tale of Two Sisters and A Bittersweet Life. He knows his shit. The film stars Choi Min-sik.. Yes Choi is the badass from Oldboy.

It seems like going on about ten years now, that the BEST COMIC BOOK EVER, has been tried and tried again to become a feature film or television series. Nothing ever has come of it. It seems that director D.J. Caruso (Disturbia, Eagle Eye, Taking Lives, The Shield) will direct the long awaited “Preacher” adaptation. This depends on how well his upcoming film “I am Number Four” does at the box office according to SlashFilm.

It was only a matter of time, that “300” would get a sequel. That film made so much money for Warner Bros. and spawned so many books and toys, that it really was just common sense to make another film. And it has been talked about for a while now. The sequel will be called “Xerxes” and Frank Miller is on board to create this world once again for the silver screen.

Let me first stand up and applaud Jackie Chan. 100 films. That is a big feat. Jackie has entertained me and all of us for many years. In his prime he was the Drunken Master and Supercop and who could forget the Rush Hour films, the comedy and action he brought to that franchise was amazing. I have loved being entertained by Jackie Chan for years and years now and am super excited to see his 100th film.

Some pretty great classic titles this week, but a fairly weak new release week. But I love the heavy classic title weeks. It gives me a chance to watch some excellent filmmaking and remember all the films I saw when I was younger. And the best is, that most of them have the HI-DEF treatment, so it is like watching the movie for the first time. Some great titles. Classic Titles.

Director Darren Lynn Bousman who you might recognize his previous work such as: Saw 2,Saw 3, Saw 4, and the ever popular Repo: The Genetic Opera has been hard at work on his next film. The film in question will be a horror/thriller called 11-11-11. Like the date. From the looks of it, it is going to be a journey into the darkest parts of HELL.

It seems like forever now, well it has been forever, that we have been talking about a BioShock movie made by Gore Verbinski. Every time there is news on this film, nothing ever happens, and we all are left wondering, “What happened to the BioShock movie?”

This is one hell of a Geek Deal. And the best part is, that it will last all week or until sold out. Torchwood is one AWESOME series. It is a spin-off on the hit tv show, “Dr. Who”. The first two seasons and the Torchwood: Children of Earth blurays are all on sale this week.

Some very cool footage of the FX work from tons of great films have come to light. Such as the FX for the alien like fish water creatures from James Cameron’s The Abyss and the Superman suit and FX from Tim Burton’s failed attempt at the Superman film all those years ago plus much more.

This trailer is all sorts of kickass. I have watched it almost for an hour now. It has got a certain haunting quality to it. This is what I love most about teaser trailers. It doesn’t give much away, and it leaves you wanting more. Much more.

For years and years now, this film, Logan’s Run, has been tried and tried again to be remade but has failed on all levels. Logan’s run celebrated its 30 anniversary back in 2006. So far the film has an excellent actor in Ryan Gosling playing the role of Logan, and one hell of a director and writer.

If you are in Abilene or feel like making a small road trip tonight, head to Abilene to the Urban Male Salon around 6:00pm for an excellent art exhibit. The works of Jonathon Kimbrell will be debuted tonight there and what beautiful, funky art it will be.

One of my favorite cartoons growing up were the Tom & Jerry cartoons. Most of the cartoons had no dialogue in them, but you knew what both Tom & Jerry were feeling at all times. It reminds me a lot of the Roadrunner cartoons. Tom just never seems to get Jerry. But some of my favorite episodes were win Tom & Jerry teamed up and were buddies, and conquered their foes together.

David Ellis, who directed Snakes On A Plane, has a new film in the works about killer sharks. The film was originally titled “Shark Night 3D”. That sounds awful. But ‘Untitled 3D Shark Thriller’ sounds fucking awesome!

Most of you might know of Chuck Palahniuk as the writer of Fight Club, Choke, and Haunted. And in 2008 he wrote a book called “Snuff” which is (like his other novels) being made into a film. So far the actor list they have is pretty astonishing and I am very much looking forward to this movie.

Director/Writer/Producer Brad Bird (Ratatouille, The Incredibles, The Simpsons, and the upcoming Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol film) accepted an award he got for excellence in animation, but was not able to attend the ceremony due to him being held captive by a couple of really suspicious people (Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise) at gun point.

Have you not had a chance to watch all the films that have been nominated for Best Picture this year?? Would you like to watch them all in a 24 hour marathon at your local theater?? Or perhaps watch them over the course of two days with five films per day?? If you want to do the above then your dream has come true.

Today’s geek deal of the day is the complete series of HBO’S Sex and the city! Not the films. Just the television series. It is the complete deluxe edition collection on DVD. Sorry no bluray on this one.

I must say that I was a bit anxious to see Gaspar Noe’s new film, “Enter The Void”. I previously enjoyed his past work (Irreversible and I Stand Alone), even though his work is not widely known or even praised. What Gaspar does, is show you the raw underbelly of the world with no escape. I even tend to wonder if he wants his audience to get up and leave in disgust or shut their eyes through most of his films. With all that said, he still knows how to make a beautiful film and spark debate and interest in the subjects he tackles. After viewing this film, I can say I enjoyed it. Now that’s not to say you will. This film (just like the rest of Noe’s films) most people won’t like. But for those true and pure cinema lovers, this will rock your boat.

The San Diego Comic Con badges this year have been riddled with tons of failure this year. First they decided to sell their 2011 badges on November of 2010 and once they went on sale, it almost immediately crashed their site. They tried again on November 22nd with the same results. Then they tried a test sale where they put up 1000 badges for sale in December and they sold out in 60 seconds. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes friends, that little ol’ band from Seattle who helped usher in the ‘Grunge’ era of the early 1990s is getting ready to release an uber super-deluxe edition of their now classic gems, “Vs.” and “Vitology”, in celebration of the band’s 20th Anniversary.

Both albums are available for pre-order via the band’s website and will be available in six different formats. Choose from deluxe remastered CD versions with bonus tracks, remastered vinyl editions or the special limited edition box set with a truck load of goodies, like remastered version of both albums on CD and vinyl LP, the double vinyl LP of their legendary 1994 Orpheum Theatre performance, a special ‘mix tape’ cassette, an 80-page hardbound book filled with exclusive photos and drawings, including a glassine envelope containing “Vs.” and “Vitology” era memorabilia, such as photos, lithographs, postcards and more.

World renowned artist, Jonathon Kimbrell of Napkin Art Studios has one hell of a show coming up in April this year. His exhibit will be called “We Are Modern” and will feature some excellent artwork by Mr. Kimbrell. He has been hard at work for a while on these pieces already. The exhibit will be at the Cameron Gallery in the design district in Dallas, TX. Below is the teaser trailer for his show made by the artist himself. Look for the international longer trailer soon by yours truly. It promises to be one kick ass show. Stay tuned for more.

If you are like me, then the Superbowl game between the Packers and the Steelers is second fiddle to all the awesome commercials and new movie trailers that will be shown. There are tons of badass films coming out soon, so I imagine that quite a bit of amazing trailers will be shown during the Superbowl this year. But this awesome Volkswagen commercial is just so great. i hope to see quite a bit of greatness like this.

Nintendo has released some of their best 8-Bit Games to be played online without downloading them. Wow. The days are going to fly by now. I love playing these 8-bit games. In a lot of ways, they still are better than any of the newer games that come out today.

Now I know none of you do not have anything to do tomorrow night, what with the cold and all, so how about you pack yourselves and friends up and head to Deep Ellum to see a kick ass art exhibit by a local artist and hear some great live music. In addition to that, free food and beverages.

What an excellent day this is for bluray announcements. This news for some odd reason gets me so giddy. I love the Ernest films. Especially the older ones. I enjoy the newer ones, but when i was a kid, I watched Ernest and Pee-Wee. Jim Varney’s character of Ernest P. Worrell brought so much comedy and joy to my life growing up. I am so excited that they are getting the hi-def treatement.

I’m sad to report that as of today, February 2, 2011, The White Stripes have decided to call it quits.

The reasons for the amicable split are not entirely clear, but according to the Third Man Records website, “the reason is not due to artistic differences, or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health”.

Despite whatever reason the band came to in regards to the split, the band hopes the news is not ‘met with sorrow’. Even though there will be no future recordings by the band, fans can still look forward to unreleased studio and live records via the band’s Third Man Vault subscription service and other outlets.

The last 13+ years the band has been together have gone by in a blur, I will admit. In that short amount of time, The White Stripes have ushered in a new era of rock n’ roll, recorded some incredible records, and I’m sure have inspired many garage acts to follow in their place.

As John Lennon once said about the break-up of The Beatles, ‘it’s not the end of the world. You’ve got all the records if you still want to reminisce.’ We all hear you there, John. Instead of mourning the loss of another great rock band, let us instead celebrate the art they did give us, and hope there is a chance for a reunion somewhere down the road. Besides, as busy as Jack White is, this isn’t the last we will ever hear from him…or Meg.

Now I believe that Fletch was one of the best comedies of the 1980’s, but its sequel was one of the worst sequels in cinema history. I mean it killed any chance of their being a third film for a while. But now they are moving forward to bring back Fletch to the big screen.

I am a fan Kung Fu Panda. I thought it had a lot of heart, great voice acting, and some exquisite visuals and CG. I have been looking forward to a new one. Below you will see the short 30 second teaser trailer that will air during the Superbowl along with an official plot synopsis.

If you have never seen the original “The Killer” by John Woo starring Chow Yun Fat, then get off your ass and buy this film. It will rock your dirty socks off. Well it seems that now this film is getting the Hollywood remake treatment in English and in 3D.

I was about 13 years old when Stephen King’s The Stand debuted on primetime television back in 1994. It has been one of my favorite Stephen King books as well as made for tv adaptations of king’s work to date. Plus it introduced me to the acting talent of Gary Sinise. Back then and even today, I thought that The Stand was too BIG for just TV. I mean it is such an epic story that deserves a huge budget and a silver screen opportunity. Well it seems like some execs have the same feeling.

Superman is being Rebooted from the previous film with new actors and crew. Now Superman Returns was pretty bad. Terrible story line. But I thought Brandon Routh was the perfect Superman. It just seems that Bryan Singer had too many execs trying to make Superman and we got a less than par film. But maybe they are trying to do this right this time.
